SubscribeQuiz: What’s Your Personality?Medically reviewed by Bethany Juby, PsyD — Written by Christina Ward — Updated on January 27, 2025

Want to know your personality type? Take this quiz to learn more about yourself!

Instructions

Answer each of the questions below honestly about yourself and we’ll score the quiz and let you know how others see you.

Disclaimer: This quiz is for entertainment purposes only. In no way is this an empirically validated test. The concepts presented are not rooted in any known research.

The word personality originates from the Latin word persona, referring to masks worn by theater performers to hide their identity or portray different roles.

Your persona, or personality, is unique to you. It’s a combination of the behaviors, emotions, thought patterns, and motivations that define us.

Research from the past few decades has pointed to the role of environment — including how we were raised — and genetics in forming and shaping our personalities.

So, what is your personality?

Our personality test can help you learn more about your personality type. Answering these simple questions can help provide insight into who you are and what you value.

Ready to start therapy? Our Find a Therapist resource may help.
